Once Grey

Chapter 28:Leaked

Seconds and minutes as well as hours passed then days rolled by then weeks blurred away too and I saw myself on the last day of school before finally going for Christmas break and I still hadn't spoken to Edwin not that it mattered anymore atleast that's what I keep telling myself. As I walked hand in hand with Alan out of the building I couldn't help but notice everyone on their phones as they looked at their screens then at me and Alan , well specifically at me. I heard whispers like
"I knew she was crazy"
" I feel really bad for her though, imagine being locked in there for so long" another brunette whispered.
" She's definitely a new version. Now"
What was happening I didn't need a pair of eyes to know that I was the one everyone was talking about.
" You got the video too?"
And just by reflex Alan checked his phone and the look he gave me was enough to tell me it was really bad.
" What is wrong Alan?" I asked my grey eyes piercing into his dark brown ones.
" Let's just go"
" No tell me" when I saw how reluctant he was I seized the phone from his hold and my eyes turned into saucers with what was on the screen. It was me in my rehab garments screaming and turning the room upside down muttering inaudible words to noone in particular. Tears stung in my eyes, I blinked them away , this wasn't happening I took a deep breathe and opened my eyes hoping that the video will disappear but I opened my eyes to a mini me in the screen hitting on the door. I shoved Alan's phone into his hands and I ran out .
How did that video get out ? I was gonna be ruined. What I'm I even saying I'm alrdy damned. I kept breathing in and out as I felt Alan approach me.
" Calm down ok, I'll just drive the car up here." He said disappearing and after awhile I suddenly felt someone approach me.
" Pretty hott uhhh and feisty too . Wanna hitch a ride with me?, We could get a little crazy in the back seat." He said licking his lips and precising the word crazy more than necessary which only earned a disgusting stare from me and then he pulled my arm." Playing hard to get?"
" Let me go" I said roughly pulling my hand from him which ofcourse didn't leave his grasp .
" Let her go you jerk" which came with a hard blow on his face and my hand was suddenly released only for me to look up and the eyes of the one I only imagined these past weeks were locked with mine. Those brown eyes, I almost forgot the guy who was now holding his nose with blood oozing making its way in between his fingers to the back of his hand as he fleed for his life.
" Can we talk ?" He asked rather in a pleading way but before I could even respond my legs took me towards Alan's car which was now parked not very far away and I instantly regretted why I didn't wait to speak to him but I was already humiliated enough and I just didn't want to attract any more attention.Who are you kidding ? You are a Hernandez and your first name is attention. The voice in my head mocked me.
" We need to tell your mom" Alan finally said after a few minutes of tense silence as he took a right turn which earned him an " are you crazy " glare.
" What she's the only one that can help us clear the video from the web." He said after he noticed the look on my face.
" What?" She's the only one who can help us clear it from the web." He's right but I'll try settling this one on my own. Mom always cleaned up my mess.
" Who could have done this?" He later asked in deep thought when he understood my silence and that's when it occured to me that there's no video without an uploader." Mia?" It came out more of a whispered question than an answer.
" Mia? Why will you even think that?
" She's the only one I don't get along with and what happened at the party was probably humiliating but she went too far."
" More reason why I can't tell mom about it." I finally said in frustration holding my head in my hands tears almost threatening its way down my eyes buh I was fast enough to blink them away.
" Hey don't stress yourself out." Alan said unbuckling his seat belt and pulling me into a warm hug as he rubbed my back softly. We were now parked infront of my dorm building. I planned on moving out of here. I know Kaylie is nice buh I'm just used to owning stuff and I'm not really confident if my body due to the scars so I prefer complete privacy.
" Everything's gonna be fine ok pup pup"
" Okay walker" I said with a chuckle.
" Do you hear that?" He suddenly asked as we released ourselves from the hug .
" Hear what?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows.
" That" he said his index finger pointing no where in particular.
" I don't hear anything Alan"
" Exactly, that's the silence of our victory" he said covering his eyes and taking a deep breathe and I couldn't help but laugh.
" You're just too dramatic Al, it's not like we're planning a war or something." I said shaking my head in disbelief with how I landed myself with this guy cuz I was so lucky with how he cheered me up. I told him bye one last time as he offered for me to stay at his apartment because he didn't exactly trust me to be alone. I didn't trust myself either buh I was gonna try.
I walked into my dorm room which I hadnt seen in quite sometime.
" Finally you're home? I was already getting bored " I turned to a figure sitting crossed legged with a newspaper in his hand and that's when I realized I didn't exactly open the door with my key because I left it at Alan's. And this only made my heart race.
